Cleaning And Maintenance; Cleaning The Appliance - Hotpoint HS B10 BDB Operating Instructions Manual

An ordinary wall plug will be enough to
secure the upright vacuum cleaner to the
wall.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Before cleaning or maintaining the vacuum
cleaner, make sure it has been unplugged
from the electrical outlet. Do not use aggressive
substances or abrasive materials to clean the
appliance, its internal parts and attachments.

Cleaning the appliance

Use a dry or slightly damp soft cloth to clean the
plastic parts (body, dust compartment etc), making
sure that all parts have been thoroughly wiped dry.
Cleaning the attachments
Before cleaning the attachments refer to the chapter
"Attachments".
Cleaning the dust compartment (C)
For the routine cleaning of the dust compartment:
1. Press the dust-compartment opening button (10)
to open the dust compartment lid (8).
2. Remove the dust bag (21) by lightly pressing
the dust bag support (23) and remove the HEPA
filter (19) by releasing the opening tab.
3. Clean the dust compartment by removing any
residual dirt with a small brush. If needed, use a
damp soft cloth, taking care to wipe all its parts
entirely dry.
4. Properly re-place the HEPA filter, paying
attention to the positions of the notches.
5. Re-place the dust bag on the intake valve (22)
until it fits into the dust bag support. Then close
the dust compartment lid until it clicks into place.
Replacing the dust bag (D)
We recommend always using Hotpoint-
Ariston's original dust bags, because their
special fabric allows optimum air filtration,
maximum dust/powder
performances and a long motor life.
We recommend replacing the bag when the
full-bag red indicator lights up. In any case
change it at least once a year to be always sure of
the best efficiency of your appliance. The pores of
retention, high
a bag clogged with dust/powder particles reduce
the motor's suction power and can even damage
it.
1. Make sure the appliance is disconnected from
the electrical outlet.
2. Press the dust-compartment opening button (10)
to open the dust compartment lid (8).
3. Remove the dust bag by lightly pressing the dust
bag support (23).
Dispose of the dust bag in compliance with
all local regulations on waste disposal.
4. Fit a new dust bag to the intake valve (22),
making sure it locks into the dust bag support.
5. Close the dust compartment lid (8) until it clicks
into place.
Make sure the dust bag is properly coupled
to the relevant support to prevent it from
coming loose during use.
Cleaning the HEPA filter (E)
The HEPA filter ensures maximum protection against
allergens and high air quality, because the air given
back by the appliance is entirely free from dust/
powder residues.
We recommend cleaning the filter at least
every month to restore its filtering power. In
any case we recommend replacing the filter at
least every year to ensure maximum performance.
To clean the HEPA filter:
1. Make sure the appliance is disconnected from
the electrical outlet.
2. Press the dust-compartment opening button (10)
to open the dust compartment lid (8).
3. Remove the HEPA filter (19) by releasing the
opening tab.
4. Wash the filter under running water, taking care
that the jet of water is not too strong.
5. Hold it so that the water flows parallel to its folds.
6. Let it dry at room temperature until all its parts
are thoroughly dry.
7. Re-place the HEPA filter (19), paying attention to
the positions of the notches.
8. Close the dust compartment lid until it clicks into
place.
